Title: Instant water heater
IPC: A47J31/54
Filed: 1988-10-14
Abstract: The instant water heater for household appliances, in particular for preparing filter coffee, has an electrically heated tubular heating element (1) and an electric temperature safeguard, which interrupts the power supply in the case of overheating and is connected between a first electric connection terminal (5) and the mains connection lead (7) of said instant water heater.

Abstract: Potassium hexatitanate fibers having a tunnel struc­
ture and a free potassium content of 5 ppm or less can be 
produced by mixing together a titanium containing compound 
and a potassium containing compound in a ratio represented 
by the formula K₂O·nTiO₂ (wherein n = from 2 to 4); firing 
the mixture at 900 to 1,200°C to produce mass of potassium 
titanate fibers; dipping the mass of product in either cold 
or hot water to disintegrate the mass of potassium titanate 
fibers into individual single fibers; adding an acid to the 
slurry to adjust the pH value to 9.3 - 9.7, thereby changing 
the composition of the potassium titanate fibers so that the 
molar ratio of TiO₂/K₂O is in the range of from 5.95 to 
6.00; heating the fibers at 950 to 1,150°C for 1 hour or 
more; and washing the fibers with an acid. The potassium 
hexatitanate fibers, which have a minimal free potassium 
content, i.e., 5 ppm or less, can be suitably used as a 
reinforcing material for polyester thermoplastic resins, 
polyphenylene sulfide resins, liquid crystal polymers, 
aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and so forth, all of which

Title: Process for drying hydrogen fluoride - carboxylic acid mixtures
IPC: C07C45/46
Filed: 1989-12-05
Abstract: A process is provided for removing water from a mixture of hydrogen fluoride (HF), a carboxylic acid, e.g., acetic acid, and water by extractive distillation in the presence of a Lewis base as solvent, which does not azeotrope with water, forms bonds with the HF and carboxylic acid which can be broken by heat and has a boiling point at atmospheric pressure at least about 20 DEG C above that of tne carboxylic acid, e.g., N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and taking off an overhead vapor comprising a major proportion of the water in said mixture. The extractive distillation may be advantageously integrated in an overall process with the production of an aromatic ketone, e.g., 4-hydroxyacetophone, by the Friedel-Crafts acylation of an aromatic compound, e.g., phenol, with the carboxylic acid, using HF as catalyst, to produce a product mixture comprising the aromatic ketone, HF, carboxylic acid and water, and the removal of aromatic ketone from the product mixture by means of a solvent assisted distillation.

Title: Image processing system
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1990-01-25
Abstract: An image processing system, comprising: a camera for taking a picture image of an object and producing a corresponding picture image signal; a binary discrimination circuit for converting the picture image signal into a binary signal; a memory unit for storing the binary signal; and feature extracting circuit for extracting a geometric feature of the picture image by processing the binary signal. Preferably, the feature extracting circuit comprises: an edge detection circuit having a hardware structure; and an arithmetic processing unit for computing, through a software process, geometric features from a graphic image included in the picture image of the object according to data on edge addresses. Thus, the processing speed is increased and the size and cost of the system is reduced by carrying out edge detection and address data collection requiring a large amount of processing work by means of a dedicated hardware circuit and carrying out arithmetic and other processes by means of software. Further, since the software of its arithmetic unit can be easily modified, the versatility of the processing work can be improved, and the range of application of the system can be broadened.
